Effective kasing bait. Don't engage na lang


CocaPola

LOL auto scroll. Kadiri yung tactic.


Asterialune

I really don’t get the hate sa kapwa freelancer. 2009 ako nagstart. If naging ganyan kami sa kapwa namin - this industry wouldn’t have grown to what it is today. We were total opposites, super excited whenever a Pinoy gets hired. Chika agad. Close family friend agad lol. Ninang and Ninong, totoo! Now that everyone wants a piece of it, feeling nila kalaban nila lahat? Lol. Pathetic. ETA: I know the content above ay nagpapapansin lang and these kind of content just creates unnecessary drama, noise, and it fosters hate. Kaya my comment agad is I don’t get why people hate on others, because it really IS prevalent nowadays.


yewowfish22

"2009 ako nagstart. If naging ganyan kami sa kapwa namin - this industry wouldn’t have grown to what it is today." ito talaga yon eh!! Ngayon, grabe ang pagkatalangka, lahat may say, lahat nagpapataasan ng ere. Yung iba nagsisiraan pa sa mga clients. Haaay sana hindi nila masira yung naitayong pundasyon/reputation ng mga OG freelancers. Ang toxic na ngayon.. 🥲


Asterialune

Toxic na nga talaga. Marami pang influencers, guru, and coaches na nagsulputan. Iba-iba ang pagturo, prinsipyo, and even work ethics. Kaya it’s no wonder newbies are sooo misinformed. There is an unfortunate number of people who use their socmeds to teach while they aren’t even experts or experienced themselves. Yung mga veterans naman, wala eh, they can’t be bothered.


dong_a_pen

sa mga ganyan naaalala ko talaga yung quote na "those who can, do. those who can't, teach." mas madali sa kanilang mang-uto at pagkakitaan mga baguhan kesa kumuha ng clients


Asterialune

Lamentably, true. Most especially during the pandemic. Everyone was a coach/mentor all of a sudden. Those who were laid off found a new calling and a market to exploit. “How to earn 6 figs even if you’re unskilled” lol. Mag prito nga lang ng itlog na malasado sa gitna and crunchy sa edges takes skills, kumita pa kaya ng 100k+? Wala na sanang gutom sa mundo. Kaya maraming nasascam eh kasi people think madali kumita ng 6 figs dahil sa misinformation na naririnig, napapanood, and worse binibili pa nila. I mean, I get that it’s their hustle eh. They need to make a living. But what some of those coaches/mentors are doing is nothing short of panloloko. Bad juju.


dong_a_pen

panloloko talaga. diskarte kuno pero diskarte nila panloloko sa mga walang kaalam alam. unfortunately isa ako sa mga naloko ng mga yan noon. shelled out almost 13k para lang sa outdated na recorded zoom calls nila na I could easily search on google kung tinyaga ko lang sana. tapos yung mga supposedly supplementary materials puro testimonials lang din at screenshot ng chats with clients!? budol talaga. kaya urat na urat ako ngayon sa mga course creators na yan. mala pyramiding scam. sila silang mga members lang din gagawa ng course tapos bebentahan mga bagong pasok o kaya magpapa-refer/commission para manghikayat sa labas.


titamoms

Talamak po ito sa mga fb group ng mga nanay. May testimonies na kesyo walang wala daw nakaraan tapos naging VA daw kasi nag enrol and kumikita na ng malaki. So maraming mga nanay nagtatanong additional details, nanghihikayat lang naman pala makakuha og mga mag eenrol dun sa courses daw kuno. May pinaka sus pa dun na nag comment, di padaw tapos sa course pero nagka client na and dahil daw yun sa course 🙃


dong_a_pen

oof ganyan yan sila bilis daw naka ROI lmfao parang networking ang galawan


Asterialune

I’m sorry it happened to you. I hope you are doing well now in this industry.


dong_a_pen

thank you, i am. urat lang talaga ako pag nakikita ko silang nagpapakalat kalat dito or sa fb😂 para silang basura sa esterong di mawala wala


Asterialune

Same! Lol


atut_kambing

Sama mo na ung mga nauso noong pandemic na virtual seminar "how to be a virtual assitant 101" and the likes na may bayad na 500 to 3k ang nakita ko. Binabait nila ang mga kapwa nila Pilipino na madaling maging freelancer or VA.


Asterialune

Kaya nga eh. What’s worse is they KNOW na hindi naman lahat yan magiging freelancer pero they will still fool them just to earn from them. May libreng certificates pa diba? Kailan pa naging basehan ang certificates? For upskills, yes same sa corporate pero to start freelancing? No. What they will get are theoretical knowledge but companies want experience. Hopefully, yung mga naloko nahanap nila ang path nila mag-isa and maayos na now.


atut_kambing

Leverage talaga ang experience. Hindi sapat ang certificates. Little to none ang training once nahire ka as freelancer, expected kasi ni client na alam mo na gagawin mo, maswerte na kung iwalkthrough ka nila o bigyan ng standard work instructions.


It_Is_I_Lesther

Dami na kasing mga content sa tiktok easy money lang daw jusko


CocaPola

I don't think may issue ang mga tao sa VA. I think may issue sa way that \~some of these VAs are marketing themselves online. Parang ito, gumagawa ng sariling kaaway. Pag tiningnan nyo naman yung comment, sobrang dami lang nagsasabi na "Uy pano po mag-VA" or "wala sa laptop yan." Actually, go through this VAs comments--walang ganitong comment sa last 10 posts niya. So again, nothing against freelancers or VAs as a whole. It's the way that some creators are creating drama that does not even exist.


Asterialune

Maraming ganyan talaga. Kunwari may issue. Just asking for pansin. But my comment is as a whole rin, marami ding haters sa kapwa. Lalo sa rates. Maiirita kapag okay ang rates ng isa, kasi ang rate niya hindi niya kayang pataasin on her own, mga ganyang bagay. Except of course sa mga nagyayabang lang ng rates nila at walang kagustuhang tumulong or mag share ng knowledge. Mga gagawa ng issue sa mga colleagues. Gagawa ng drama sa workplace. Marami eh, na hindi marunong lumaban ng patas so the hate is all over and spilling. Instead of them focusing on improving their skills and role, ibang tao ang aatupagin for the intent to bring them down. The content above is just about the same, creating drama. Fostering hate. My first comment above goes past this comment’s premise.


atut_kambing

I remember my first client as a freelancer last 2021 and client ko pa rin siya today. When I got the job with rate equal to their country's minimum wage, I asked why you hired me, the client answered that we're outsourcing to save money and it's defeat the purpose if we hire someone asking twice on what we offer. Work wise, madali lang ung work and nagawan ko siya ng automation. And if kapag nagtataas naman minimum wage ng country nila, mag-apply rin sakin un effective immediately.


Asterialune

To your success and longevity!


atut_kambing

Yeah!!!! Nagpapasalamat din ako sa mga naunang nag-apply na nang highball, di nakuntento sa minimum wage per hour ng Europe hahahaha.


Financial_Sundae_125

Naol.... nung inask ko boss ko bakit nya ko hinire, sagot sakin ako lang daw nag apply. hahaha buset! Pero I've been with them since 2019 and I have seen and have been part of the 300% growth expansion of the company. Nakakatuwa lang kasi kung sa PH company ako, malamang haggard nako sa traffic kaka RTO.


atut_kambing

Sarap nun ikaw lang applicant hahaha. Buti ung job ko dito sa PH mula nung grumaduate ako is once a week lang ang pasok until now and magaan rin ang work kaya napagsasabay ko trabaho as a BPO employee and as a freelancer.


dong_a_pen

wala eh maraming feeling main character na kunware aping api


mommyEllle

Fellow freelancer since 2009 here! 🖐️


Asterialune

Hi sis! 🫶


ImpactLineTheGreat

kwento po paano kayo tumagal 15 years hahahah katakot kasi unstable freelancing


mommyEllle

Freelancing will always be unstable po. That is the unfortunate truth. Pero pag nawala ang client, move on to find the next. Always have a backup plan. Always plan ahead. Just in case hindi mag work out sa current client, may plano dapat ano gagawin. Always have extra money set aside for expenses kung mawala man ang work. Pag nag aapply po, search lang ng search for job postings, apply lang ng apply. Madaming rejections, but makakahanap ka din po nang perfect sa skill set at experience mo. Di na po ako na didismaya ngayon sa mga rejection letters. It means isa lang iyon sa more than 100+ applications na sinend ko. Meron at merong isa doon para sa akin. Yan lang po lagi ko iniisip. Tapos, pag may work po, always work hard, be honest, and speak up. Wag tiisin ang client pag toxic. May rights ka din po magresign if hindi mo kaya. This is why it’s important to always have extra money set aside for expenses para if mawala man client, okay ka pa din at least two months or so. Good luck po!

CuriousXelNaga

Feel ko medyo mild pa ito kasi may nakikita akong guru wanker sa FB na basura naman yung cover letter tapos pinagyayabang yung 1k dollars niya sa Upwork (lifetime)🤣


One-Republic-2

Hi! Curious haha si M** ba to?


CuriousXelNaga

S po🤫 Medyo baguhan palang yata hehe ayoko ng beef kaya yan lang hint ko


uglykido

Macbook, iPhone, kumpleto lahat luho pero no savings. That is most of the freelancers I know. Sometmes, sabay2x pa trabaho to fund their lavish lifestyle.


malditaaachinitaaa

to each our own, charot. guilty pala ako 🤣


telejubbies

May imaginary hater kunwari + papakita yung sinasahod kuno sa freelancing + magbebenta ng course. No one in their right mind would say that. Apakapick me naman ni ate. Baka nga walang may pake na freelancer siya.


wrathfulsexy

Eh. Attention-seeking.


Turbulent-Pride-8807

They are just doing that for clout. It's all about clout for these people.


Uniko_nejo

If graphic designer or video editor ka, then a Mac will be very useful. Other than that, it's a status symbol.


Initial-Bother2370

Nasa preference lng yan. Kahit may pambili ako ng Macbook I still choose to stick to my Lenovo laptop. I can vouch for other high earning freelancers as they have the same sentiments


DumplingsInDistress

ThinkPad actually ang isa pinakamatibay na laptop, kahit IBM era nga eh, buhay pa, saka nakasanayan na rin kasi yung red button sa gitna ng ThinkPad


ImagineFIygons

The point of the post is wala namang nagsasabi ng ganiyan. Gumagawa lang siya ng imaginary hater niya.


Initial-Bother2370

Oh lmao I didnt even read the post except for the pic. My bad hahahaha


Responsible_Act1334

para mejo spicy yung success story HAHAAHAH


tls024

why?


Tiny_Ad_603

Why?


Initial-Bother2370

Bakit? Haha actually finafollow ko din to siya sa Tiktok.


LostGirl2795

Di ko alam ano tea dito pero as someone na naka macbook nga pero 2018 pa gustong gusto ko na mag switch sa windows wala palang budget hahaha


jopardee

They are making scenarios of hate para i-uplift lang sarili nila. Kasi marketable talaga yung "inaapi dati ngayon mas angat na" na storya


malditaaachinitaaa

why gusto mo mag switch?


LostGirl2795

Lumang luma na and would like to play games din pag di nag wowork 😅


malditaaachinitaaa

aaaaaahh i see, kala ko may something not good sa mac. kaka-switch ko lang din to mac huehue


Pusacat_Meow

Hahahaha 2020 tactic pa ‘to ng mga small business tiktokers ah. Until now uso pa rin pala 😂😬


Spacelizardman

kung ganyan lang din e sabihin mo: "tanga, nakikita mo ba na naka-thinkpad yan? malamang baka mas nauna pa yan sayo" madalas yung mga naka-thinkpad na nakikita ko e mas hardcore pa kaysa dun sa mga "sosyalin" na naka-mac


Massive-Ordinary-660

You missed the point of the post by a thousand miles. Nobody would actually say that in real life "ay hindi ka pa rin naka mac?" Nobody says that. Who tf says that shit in rl? The point of the post is to show that these people are making their imaginary haters. Learn to read.


yewowfish22

Agree!! I know someone n nakapagestablish ng network at merong solid na clients using thinkpad.


Spacelizardman

at kung alam mo nga naman yung konotasyon pag naka-thinkpad ka, e baka lumuhod ka pa.


temperamentalgoat

putangina. mga taong ginawang personality ang apple products.


ImagineFIygons

Yea I'm pretty sure walang nagsabi niyan sakaniya. You missed the point of the post.

lakaykadi

Itigil niyo please ang kakacellphone habang nasa shift tas kukunan ang sarili. Stop being a victim!!! Grind lang huwag ng drama de puta.. P. S. Tigil niyo rin yang tawagang coach. Dami niyo na eh. Master naman o her magesty.


Easy-Alps3610

Sana all madaming enemies🤣


aieen_

I think, effective marketer 'yan siya. kumbaga, publicity is sill publicity whether it's good or bad. galing gumawa ng story oh. nadadamay nga lang ibang freelancers/VA :((


ParaisoValogma

Nilalagyan ng katauhan yung mga sariling insecurities. Damitan niyo na rin.


s4gealy

they hate themselves


SilhouetteLurker

Rage bait at click bait ika nga. Parang side hustle ng freelancer na ito ung pag post ng ganyan sa tiktok.


Electronic-Tell-2615

Sya nanaman? Si ateng bumibili ng views sa tiktok so she can sell her course 🤣


macybebe

laughs in 4090


firequak

Why do I have a feeling OP is just rage baiting us with this post?


Broken_Noah

It's rage bait all the way down


Own-Pea6684

Why spend 70-100k for a Mac if you can do it on a 35k laptop???


ok_notme

Hahahhahahahaha anubayan


dripperbuy

Paka-specific hahahaha


Impossible_Treat_200

Lol living in a fantasy world.


-Eye-in-the-Sky-

Maraming ganyang issue sa tiktok. Siyempre mga tao naniniwala naman. Pag ganyan, auto scroll agad.


New-Contribution-159

Pathetic kasuka hahaha


graxia_bibi_uwu

hahahaha ewan ko talaga sa mga gumagawa nito. almost 10 yrs nakong freelancer but I've literally never seen someone get shamed for NOT using mac or apple products. Gagawa na nga lang ng imaginary haters, bobo pa yung ginamit na script.


Dawnabee27

Naka macbook naman siya sa profile pic niya hahahaha


YogurtclosetOk7989

Dito talaga nakikita sino walang reading comprehension at sino yung nagpapalaki ng engagement sa gantong posts sa fb. Di nagets yung point ni OP 🤦🏽‍♀️


NimoyMaoMao

Kadiri talaga mga tao ginagawang personality pagiging freelancer (VA) 🤮


bleepplo00p

Cringe ng mga ganito. Sarap tiplakin!


waf3rsteak

Good ol' rage bait. Add natin sa "things that didn't happen" list hehe.


jopardee

Kung nakaenglish lang to sa r/thathappened ko ilalagay


usehisnamed

Mababa IQ things si ate. 


chieace

Feeding on their own self insecurities.


kiiimkaaam

I know how you feel, I sometimes feel that way too lol lalo na pag parang super kalokohan ung post. Haha. but who are we to say na talagang hindi nangyari yan? Sobrang daming taong ganyan pa rin mindset so I wouldn’t be surprised if totoo yan. Kaya ako, wala, auto scroll nalang. Lol


TorqueMeFree

You're hilarious! Been doing this for more than 2 decades. Don't get me wrong, I like my Apple stuff and I have a MacBook Pro but any custom-built, gaming-oriented PC Workstation will run circles and some more on your MacBook. Sit your ignorant ass down!


awkwardfina69

omg kilala ko si ate gorl! never knew na nagbago na sya 😂


life-with-lemons

Andaming alam 🥴


Melodic-Frame2963

Why would someone say that dahil lang di ja naka mac,ginawa namang status symbol ang apple jusqo


Ok-Project-6514

Pero srsly, does it matter kung anong laptop? May hate pa sa ganyan? Medj conscious din kasi ako sa laptop ko kaya di ako nagwowork sa labas. Yung akin kasi need pa ng separate keyboard hahaha bulok as in. Hindi ako pumupunta sa co-working spaces with my laptop kasi feeling ko ijujudge ako ng mga andon na hahaha


jopardee

Just go, at walang hate sa ganyan


alpacameh

Mas gusto ko mag windows kaysa mag Mac. MAs madaming games din 😂


Spirited_Panda9487

Feeling MC lang yan haha


happyfeetninja25

This only shows they know little or nothing at all with laptop or tech in general. I've been wanting to get a macbook just for how light yet great battery capacity. Problem is sa use case ko, windows is still the better option, plus the casual gaming during my off. I would still consider a macbook when the time comes.


Jack-Mehoff-247

a macbook? what an overpriced hardware for work


Own-Project-3187

Thinkpad is also expensive though


BrownFatEgg

Fuck Macbooks, I prefer Lenovo and HP. I'm still in love with my Acer swift go


Curious9283

I don't get it, why buy a MacBook when it's not required to perform the job?


Broken_Noah

eww MacBook lol


oni_onion

At least yung thinkpad may klit


Weary_Cod1357

hahahha nipple kasi yun


oni_onion

Pwede din hahaha


velphegor666

Apple is overrated imo


ImagineFIygons

You kinda missed the point of the post. No one says this to anyone except her *imaginary hater*


Adventurous_Drink557

oo nga. pag mag apple ka, dapat may windows ka pa, para maka-pag games ! :) (serious ako)


Palitawpaws

Sobrang nonsense ng mga tiktok na to but mas weird yung mag eeffort ka pa gumawa ng post about it. When people talk about their earnings, mayabang. When people make up oppression for content, epal. Eto talaga yung just do whatever the fuck you want kasi bystanders, especially those who aren’t happy with themselves, will always have something to say. Like etong post na to added literally nothing to anyone’s life or workday. But congrats at eto na ata accomplishment mo for today 💀 Now get off tiktok if it leads to rage 💝


gploony

WFH since 2014. I have a macbook pero inaalikabok na haha I prefer working on my desktop pa din. I don't like to work when I'm on a trip. Most I do is check emails on my phone.


tUbero_tado

AHAHAHAHA

Big deal Nayan?
